Always something comes up and I feel un-inspired to do anything. The weather here in Sweden is not helping either. It's always cold and rainy (no sun). I am trying to get inspirations from blog posts like yours. let's see if the sewing mojo shows up soon!Uma Mageswari Prevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07193905345128898421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699537904435529619.post-47187664428557411032010-10-08T19:14:28.077-07:002010-10-08T19:14:28.077-07:00K-Line, I actually heard of the term "paralys...K-Line, I actually heard of the term "paralysis of analysis" and I just can't remember where but it always stuck.

I am with you with the no TV, organizing and keeping the family first. I have several projects that I've started but didn't finish because I moved on to another project. My current new rule is to go back and finish those before starting another one.Trudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11649677045881448393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699537904435529619.post-16713623246049192732010-10-08T06:39:38.015-07:002010-10-08T06:39:38.015-07:00I needed this!

I also have little quick fix projects to get done, and everytime I sit down to work on a project all I can think about is getting my mom's pants hemmed or whatnot. I have a 4 day weekend this weekend (YAY!!!) and I am going to get all that done and get started on a new project! I need to get my groove back! I also agree with you on the TV thing. I make more mistakes when I sew with TV in the room. I like listen to my itunes when I sew! By the way, sending an email your way! :)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00123779237747469831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699537904435529619.post-60972230025021300972010-10-08T04:20:30.237-07:002010-10-08T04:20:30.237-07:00AMEN.

LOL (great description, btw!). These are good rules. <br /><br />If I make three mistakes in a row on the same step, it's time to step away for a while and let a solution gel. Coming back with a different point of view helps me find the solution. <br /><br />I quilt and craft sew. So each piece for me is inspired by a fabric or a person. I'm an emotional sewist -- very stream of consciousness. For me it's a one woman ministry and art.<br /><br />I need to get the guts up to try apparel. Will start with kids clothes. Got a grandbaby on the way. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699537904435529619.post-58646687235083310112010-10-08T02:46:22.762-07:002010-10-08T02:46:22.762-07:00I love your approach to sewing (and it certainly h...I love your approach to sewing (and it certainly has yielded fabulous results!) so I think I'm going to steal a few of your rules - I especially like the sew guilt free one.Eugeniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07584571701550775408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699537904435529619.post-43074945310225405712010-10-08T00:52:32.521-07:002010-10-08T00:52:32.521-07:00That is such a great post, Victoria! It's very...That is such a great post, Victoria! It's very inspiring to read others' techniques, not just for sewing but also for keeping the mojo, time management, etc. I definitely suffer from analysis paralysis which is why I often take the slapdash route - it may not be perfect, but at least it's done and I didn't lose my momentum! I also have overplanning paralysis, meaning that if I think about it too long, the garment is finished in my mind and I lose the mojo to actually execute my idea. The solution to that is to start sewing as soon as possible after an idea enters my mind.Utahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06011335110798185030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699537904435529619.post-51695126672551980122010-10-07T22:40:17.842-07:002010-10-07T22:40:17.842-07:00my sewing machine is sick today (Read Not working)...my sewing machine is sick today (Read Not working) i called the service mechanic who said he can come only by tomorrow. I am feeling handicapped, unable to keep my sewing mojo under control.....<br /><br />9 day Navarathri festival begins today and i have my hands full, with this backdrop i am feeling left out without my sewing machine, imagine during normal days.....
